Myra Turley as Lucy Scudder and Meegan Warner as Mary Woodhull. Premiering April 6, "Turn" focuses on a conflict in American history that continues to reverberate politically but has failed to captivate the popular imagination in the same way as the Civil War or World War II. "Turn" arrives at a moment of transition for AMC. After the end of "Breaking Bad" and with "Mad Men" entering its final season next month, the question now is whether the network can maintain its reputation for top-notch, culture-shifting drama.
